The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill (and Came Down with All the Bananas) (simply shortened as All the Bananas in the DVD menu), simply known as The Englishman Who Went Up the Hill (and came down with all the Bananas) is a short story presented by Jimmy and Jerry from the VeggieTales episode King George and the Ducky.
Plot[]
In the play, Scallion #1 is dressed up as an Englishman who went up a hill & came down with a whole bunch of bananas, leaving of course all the inhabitants of the hill with no bananas & bestowing the term selfish upon himself. Also, he will not eat a banana without a strawberry. On the other side of the stage, Jerry dressed as a Swedish man has done the same thing, except he has done it for he has all the strawberries. Jimmy appears briefly & tries to correct him that he is not Swedish, but is interrupting the play, so as soon as the music stops, Jerry shushes him, prompting him to move off the screen to the left & let the play resume. Like Scallion #1 who will not eat a banana without a strawberry, he won't eat a strawberry without a banana. The two see the fruit they have. They ask each other for each other's fruit, but will not share, & as a result, they are stuck.
